Subject: Re: Is there an ASF license for Apple's "Apple Developer Program" ?

Rob,
I read your initial comment as such as you would have been worried
about the licensing terms of the developer program itself [1] and
probably the App Store usage guidelines [2].
Apple SDKs can be downloaded free-of charge without requiring a
developer account and as William pointed out they are already being
used anyway. Developer accounts are only necessary if you want to
download pre-releases of SDKs or operating systems offered by apple.
This is pretty handy for instance if you want to test your app before
a particular operating system gets released. Additionally you want to
have a developer account if you require your apps to be signed by
apple. Additionally you could get ISO images of past OSes from the
developer program including OSX server which can be used as a staging
server for iOS apps.
AFAIK similar, reasonable or unreasonable discussions exist around the
terms of the Android SDK [3] but then again if so it's a separate
discussion and unrelated to getting free of charge access to the Apple
developer program.
